The Eikos offers a wide variety of transitions between the scenes you create for your shows and events. It
allows for live recall of 8 user presets, each of which you can edit at any given time.

some of what you could expect from a dedicated mixer, along with its switcher and scaler capabilities.

screen, PIP1 will appear as a color rectangle. The parameters of the layer will automatically appear on

Effect in the layer options, press the ENTER button and select Type. Select Slide Left - Right for example,
and press the ENTER button to confirm. Navigate to Duration in the Opening Effect sub-menu, and set
the duration of your effect by rotating the SCROLL knob and pressing ENTER.
